Theorem cleljust 2120
Description: When the class variables in definition df-clel 2870 are replaced with setvar variables, this theorem of predicate calculus is the result. This theorem provides part of the justification for the consistency of that definition, which "overloads" the setvar variables in wel 2112 with the class variables in wcel 2111. (Contributed by NM, 28-Jan-2004.) Revised to use equsexvw 2011 in order to remove dependencies on ax-10 2142, ax-12 2175, ax-13 2379. Note that there is no disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑦, that is, on the variables of the left-hand side, as should be the case for definitions. (Revised by BJ, 29-Dec-2020.)
